Will I find love again?

Just reflecting on how hard it's been for me to meet someone special. I've been single for many years now and I'm yet to meet anyone. My last two partners broke my heart and people kept saying I'll meet someone new and better in no time, but it's been 5 years since my last relationship and no joy. I'm in my late 30s now and lately, I've been rejected by men.
Will it happen for me again? I miss having a companion. I miss being in a relationship and all the joys that come with it,

Yes, I'm sure it'll happen! But in the meantime, work on your relationship with yourself, cheesy as it sounds. Make your life full and rewarding on its own terms, even without a partner. Spend time with friends/family, on hobbies or interests as well as dating. Good luck!

Thank you. I've been doing these for years. I'm running out of steam.

I met my husband at 39 through an introduction agency (online was in it's infancy). You read their profile, and if interested the agency would send them your profile, and if they were interested they would call you. And vice versa. I had a year of meeting sone interesting men, two of which I dated for a few weeks, one who became a good platonic friend. Then I met my husband. We married when I was 40 and had two children. All people were interviewed in person by the agency and there was a hefty price tag which I though weeded out those just looking for a hookup.

You will definitely find your love! I understand you now, yesterday my lover broke up with me and it killed me. I'm trying to cure myself, trying to find another person who can make me happy. My friend advised me to register on a dating site, a little earlier I read an article about victoria international llc and decided to try it. Has anyone had experience searching for a loved one on the Internet?

Sorry, but you can't know this. Plenty of people never find love in the first place, let alone again! It kind of frustrates me when people say things like this as they can't know and it's not helpful.

If you have the money, use an introduction agency as a pp suggested. There is online dating but you need the hide of a rhino and it's pure luck as to whether you meet anyone worthwhile. A decent agency, while again not a guarantee, at least gives you a better chance. If you can't afford it you may have to resort to online. Just keep your wits about you and chat and date with as many men as possible!

Ignore well meaning advice such as "you'll find someone when you're not looking" 🙄I haven't been looking for nearly a decade now (genuinely) and not one eligible man has even crossed my path! If you want a partner, you need to be proactive.
